Eufros Tobacco shaving soap (tallow)

Toward the fall, the Piñon Pine Are laden with fat cones (burrs) filled with delicious pine nuts.  The burrs are dripping with aromatic sap that rivals super glue in its tenacity.  You can wait until the frost opens the cones and the nuts fall out but all sorts of critters love them and clean them up about as fast as they fall so we take rakes with long handles and pull the burrs out of the tops of these relatively short trees and put em in a burlap sack (Idaho you know...).  After we have 4 or 5 of the bags full of cones we head for home, everyone smelling like they went three rounds with a Christmas tree, and because of all the sap, sticking to everything you touch.  The burrs harvested this way stay in the closed cone for weeks all fresh and plump and soft.  To get them out we roast them.  Sometimes in the burlap bag in a pit with wet burlap and a fire over top but most times we roast them in the oven a cake pan full at a time.  Piñon smells marvelous anytime but when you roast those burrs, and the resin nears the smoking point, the smell turns heavenly!  And what does that scent smell like exactly? Like Declaration Grooming Darkfall!  I love this soap as it both performs wonderfully and takes me back to childhood and collecting pine nuts.  

Wow. Scary - what is that?
